what does it mean to 'mash' the tea?

My mother has started saying this, 'did you mash the tea', which I find really weird especially when she has never said it before.

Mash the tea was used before the WW2. My grand mother on both sides used the term. That was "Up north" in North Yorkshire and County Durham. Some people used to say "Mass the tea"
